Randy Arozarena bags another 20-steal season for Seattle
Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena stole his 20th base of the season in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, becoming one of just 16 MLB players to hit that mark through Wednesday. The swipe came after he reached on an error in the first inning, locking in another 20-steal campaign.
Key Takeaways
- Randy Arozarena recorded his 20th stolen base after reaching on an error in the first inning against the Dodgers.
- He finished the night 0-for-4 in Seattle's 4-2 defeat but still joined a short list of 16 players at 20 steals.
- Season line through 101 games: .278 average, .816 OPS, 13 home runs, 47 RBI, 66 runs, 21 doubles and one triple.
- Since the All-Star break he is 10-for-46 (.217) over 12 contests, so the steal pace still carries fantasy value.
The milestone keeps Randy Arozarena among baseball's most productive baserunners even on a quiet night at the plate. Fantasy managers tracking multi-category outfielders will note that the steal total arrived without a hit, underscoring how contact outs and defensive miscues still fuel his counting stats.

How did Randy Arozarena reach 20 steals?
According to CBS Sports, Arozarena reached on an error and stole second in the opening frame of Wednesday's game. That theft was his 20th of the year, placing him among only 16 players who had cleared the 20-steal plateau through Wednesday's slate.
He went hitless otherwise, going 0-for-4 as Seattle fell 4-2 to Los Angeles. The combination of no hits and a stolen base is a reminder that his value is not tied solely to batting average spikes.
What do Randy Arozarena's season numbers look like?
Across 101 contests, Randy Arozarena is batting .278 with an .816 OPS. He has added 13 home runs, 47 RBI, 66 runs scored, 21 doubles and one triple, giving him a balanced fantasy profile beyond the stolen bases alone.
The power-speed blend remains the story: double-digit homers already paired with another 20-steal season keep him relevant in standard rotisserie and points leagues even when short cold stretches appear.
Why does the post-break skid still matter?
Since the All-Star break, the outfielder has gone 10-for-46 (.217) over 12 games. That dip explains why Wednesday's steal carried extra weight for managers waiting on a fuller return to form at the dish.
Even so, the 20-steal checkpoint arrives well before season's end, leaving room for more swipes if opportunities keep coming. With Seattle still searching for offensive spark elsewhere on the roster, Arozarena's baserunning remains one of the club's more reliable catalysts when he reaches base—by hit, walk or error.
For fantasy and streaming audiences alike, the takeaway is straightforward: Randy Arozarena has again cleared a major stolen-base threshold, and his full-season rate stats still support rostering him through the stretch run.
